The Impressive Sonos Ace Headphones Are at an All-Time Low, but Only for Today

Sonos Ace just hit $279 — its lowest price yet.

Sonos launched its debut headphones, Sonos Ace, in 2024, and they’ve quickly made a name for themselves. If you’re in the market for a set of cans that can rival the top headphone contenders on the market, you’ll want to check these out. When CNET audio expert David Carnoy reviewed the Sonos Ace, one of the few downsides he pointed out was the high price tag, but that’s less of an issue right now, thanks to a limited-time $170 off.

They are already marked down by $70, and a bonus $100 discount is applied automatically at checkout. That brings the price down to a record-low $279 — but this deal only lasts for a few more hours. If you’ve been eyeing these headphones, now is the time to act. Sonos Ace comes in both white and black colorways, but only the black variant is available at this discount.

Our reviewer liked the headphones a lot, stating that, «overall the Ace deliver a more premium listening experience, as well as better noise-canceling and voice-calling performance» than many other options at this premium price range, but did state that the price tag itself was an issue. They’re comfortable, have strong spatial audio and they look good to boot.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

This is the first time we have seen these headphones drop this low. The newness of the Sonos Ace headphones and the rarity of Sonos deals makes this one of the best deals on headphones right now, especially if you like having the latest devices.

Why this deal matters

The Sonos Ace headphones are currently available at a significant discount. You can save $170 on these if you are quick. This is the lowest price ever, and a great opportunity to snag a pair at a reduced cost. We don’t anticipate you’ll find a deal lower than this, and it’s set to end very soon.
